Jesus christ, the gameplay with Vergil is going to be AWESOME.

Uhm, what? Any proper hack'n'slash game could be priced at $70 from the get go, it would still contain at least 50+ hours of gameplay - which is more than enough for that amount of money. It is also optional... but okay. It is Capcom, after all.

Wait this DLC is a preorder bonus?
None of the images work at work so i'm going off what's said in the thread.
If so then it makes sense indeed to reveal it now.

"So, when will this awesome additional content be available, and for how much? Good questions; it's coming post-launch, but we haven't finalized a date yet; and it will cost you only 720 MSPoints or $8.99.
However, if you pre-order it from GameStop (U.S.A.) or EBGames (Canada), you'll get Vergil's Downfall for FREE!"

2 things already crossed off Dahbomb's list (assuming the PC version will be 60fps) LOL

And to be fair Ezekiel agreed that Vergil DLC would appear but thought it would be after the PC version for some reason which is kinda LOL given how these companies seem to spit out DLC quickly

So new take on DMC franchise, but it seems like...Virigl's story won't change much? (I assume the title and him being in hell allude to him being a bad guy...if the trailers with him didn't give that away).

Honestly it doesn't look bad, but man there is like no impact/feeling in any of his hits, the same for Dante but to a lesser extent.

Fine, I'll own up to that one - but everything else stands. This isn't going to be out at launch, and it's going to be a unique scenario.

if launch means the entire game then i could agree on that since when its out the DLC wont be available but i could see them adding it for the PC launch tbh as it would add "value" to the package (but that's assuming the timeframe be between the console version and PC version will be decent enough and the DLC is in there somewhere)

The new scenario sounds interesting though unless its one of those lets see what vergil was doing at the point dante was doing shit in the actual game

Capcom, how can you expect me to keep defending you if your gonna pull shit like this?

I can say RE6 is an acquired taste, but how the hell can DLC announcements over 2 months before release be justified?

:/

Pre-release DLC announcements increase sales and they're advertising a pre-order partnership with Gamestop to get it free so they need to announce it before people that want the game pre order it elsewhere.

So you aren't going to buy a game because they are making you preorder to get free DLC that let's you go through brand new stages as a new character?

If its handled the way the catwoman dlc was on Arkham city, then yes. I would bet you can play with Virgil by paying for him if you buy the game later. I think that's bullshit. And Capcom has been one of the worst developers out there when it comes to dlc. So yeah, they can eat a dick. I'm not gonna support this shit.
